Leaving Kidderminster on Sunday morning.

My dear Peter,

What an excellent capture here!!
Of course I remember this place very well. We have been there many times to cath the scene..
I like the mirror reflection very much, which you have done it perfectly! Two viaducts,two bridges ,two boats!!
Maybe you can back to Kidderminster by this nice path after the wonderful work :)) !!

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for visiting these bridges again! Yes, many times we had walked along the canal bank, and stayed in the hotel very close by. I knew you would remember it.
This morning was not cold, so no need to return to a warm hotel.. Unfortunately the nice weather did not last much longer...

Have a wonderful week ahead!

Love Peter

A great capture, Peter! I love these old steam train. The bridge is beautiful, too!

Have a good week ahead, my friend.

Hi Val,

Thank you so much for your very kind words here!! I do like to try and make a bit of a landscape for the trains to run in. The canals hare are part of a vast network of waterways that were used to transport goods before the railways got built.
They were designed for boats just like this .. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/49278544

Have a nice week!!

That is a dream of a shot Peter! I love everything in it! The almost mirror like reflections are amazing!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you so much Rosa

I am so pleased that you enjoyed it. I guess such a quiet Sunday morning, nobody about to disturb the water. I had spoken to the lady on the boat. They were ready to go, but decided to hang on to see the train too!

Have a wonderful week!

Wow, the perfect reflection! Two double bridges, double train, double boat, just beautifully done!

Thank you Gudrun

I'm so pleased you like this scene. Early enough to beat the crowds of dog walkers, runner, and fishermen. These canals do offer quite a few picture possibilities!

Wishing you a pleasant evening!

What a cracker Peter ... fantastic reflections too .. saved in fav's for sure

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve ,
Thank you very much!
Glad you like it.
This is one of the more scenic locations on the railway, and easy to get to, so always worth a photo or two!

Best Wishes,
Peter

Admired in the group Reflets

That's really neat with the little boat in front too. I like the name "Kiddermintster." :)

Hi Karen ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I am so happy that you like the scene.
Before the train came I spoke to the people on the boat. They had moored there all night, and were wanting to move on, but kindly they agreed to wait a few more minutes until the train passed, so as to make the picture.
As for the origins of the name Kidderminster, I found this:- www.etymonline.com/word/kidderminster

Best Wishes,
Peter
